Morgan State Program on DLT including employment - Sept 2024


I have been working with Morgan State on setting up a series of 1-hour seminars on decentralized topics and David Boswell suggested I reach out on the topic of "Getting a job in Web3/Crypto". 
Hyperledger has worked with Morgan State over the last few years, bringing guest speakers to talk to the students/faculty on decentralized topics like Identity, CBDCs, etc. The faculty at Morgan State were pretty excited at the idea of a session on finding a career in the space. 
As it is only hour, this isn't really a career fair but more of an overview of finding a career in Web3/Crypto, what skills are important, etc. The overall agenda is 30-45 min of presentation with the rest of the time set aside for questions. We usually get up to 100 people for these sessions, a mix of engineering and business students, and the seminars are posted to the Hyperledger YouTube. 
If you would be interested in helping out with this, we have started identifying dates for the fall semester (4 Mondays across Sept-Oct at 12noon ET) and I can let you know what is available and see if that works with your schedule. 
Let me know?

Thanks
- Sean
